Emotional stress and rejection, cause and effect

Abstract
Over the years we have noticed on more than one occasion a connection between rejection of a corneal graft and emotional stress. We considered this at first to be a coincidence. However, we have now seen 11 patients in whom an acute rejection occurred just after emotional stress. There appears to be a clear relationship between psychological stress and rejection.
